This is right out of the premise of the book "Ready Player One" that has a similar virtual world called OASIS. Mark Zuckerberg is a huge fan of the book in general and It just seems Oculus is trying to create a similar world with Horizon launch.

And that would be fine if Facebook wasn't the equivalent of IOI corporation from the book.

I wouldn't be surprised if the internal codename for the project was Oasis
